d.: While I deal with Dirt Cheap Discount Oil Changes, Cal.E. has graciously agreed to take over the blog posts for a couple of days, even though she’s traveling to her home planet, the Planet of the Talking Cats. I do hope that she’s able to post today’s blog before she gets out of out solar system, because it may be difficult to transmit it back here if not. We’ll see what happens.
Somewhere in outer space
C.: I’m bored. I’ll do some calculations and see if I can find something to occupy my mind while the auto pilot is on, carrying me to my destination. Now, fi I triangulate my position and find the right spot on Earth…Yes, that did it I can now listen to d.c.’s favorite radio show while traveling through outer space to POTTC.
This is WORK/WIND Prairie/Aberdeen Mississippi bringing you the Joe Groan Show live;,,,
I’m Joe Groan, with an interesting observation. It’s one-halfway through the NFL season, and the so-called Greatest Coach of All Time is still without a job. That’s shocking to some, but not to me. Bill Billicheat is not the greatest coach of all time, he’s trh greatest cheater of all time, bar none. That’s contrary to the opinion of my ex-wife, but I digress.
About eighteen months ago, the so-called GOAT was fired by the owner of his team, the New England Patriots. He has yet to be hired by any other team in the NFL, or as a commentator on a network that carries The Leagues games. Why? You ask. Because everyone in the NFL knows that Billicheat is a cheater, not a champion. He rode the GOAT player for almost twenty years. Tom Brady has more Super Bowl Chanpionship rings than any other player in the NFL’s history. He even won one without Billicheat as his coach.
Everyone knows that Tom Brady benefited from the “Jordan Rules.” Everyone knew that, after he was established as a star, it was illegal to hit Tom Brady. That was even if he scrambled from his own one yard line and “ran” niety-nine yards for a score, which would have taken about a day and a half. As for Jordan, after his rookie season, I don’t believe that Micheal Jordan ever fouled out of a game, unlike other defensive stalwarts such as Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman. If your working hard on defense, sometimes you get called for fouls. However, Jordan was the Defensive Player of the Year multiple times, even though he never fouled out of a game,
Now, back to the subject at hand. Billicheat was fined one-half of a million dollars for spying on his opponents with hidden cameras. The Patriots also lost a first-round draft choice the next year, which meant that the lost the opportunity to draft the thirty-second best player in college football since they won the Super Bowl.
Everyone in the NFL probably does what Billicheat did, but he was too obvious to be ignored. No worries for Billicheat, though, billionaire Pats owner Robert Kraft probably just took money out of his petty cash and paid the tax deductible donation for his coach. Yes, the NFL gives its fines to charities, which means that the plyer or coach can write the fine off as a “charitable donation.
What most NFL teams don’t do, though, is deflate footballs to make the easier to catch. My eleven year old son could catch a pass one-handed when the age-appropriate ball was deflated a couple of pounds. Billicheat swore that he knew nothing about this being done, but no one believed the control freak. That only resulted in a new NFL rule, only the officials could bring the fully inflated balls to the stadium. That rule should be implemented in every level of the game.
The team involved in the “Greatest Scandal since the 1919 Black Sox Sox,” the Houston Astros were fined five million dollars and five draft choices for doing what every other team was doing, spying on pitchers. The problem was that they were too good at it. They still won a World Series a couple of years ago even after having their field manager and general manager suspended and eventually fired. Oh, and those five draft choices they lost? That was the whole draft for them since the yearar was 2020, when Major League Baseball cut the draft down to five rounds due to Covid. Here’s a thought, maybe the Astros should hire Billicheat to teach them how to get away with cheating. I don’t see how, though, since MLB implemented pitch coms after the scandal. If Rob (he is NOT a((Man,Fred) had really beielved that the Astors were alone in pciking up pitches with cameras and replaying them during the game, why does every team and every MLB game wear pitch coms. Shouldn’t that be limited to the Astros opponents? Maybe Biilicheat could find out how to intercept the signals from the pitch coms. That would be amazing!
This has been Jow Groan, with one man’s (correct) opinion.
C.: Well, Joe Groan is done, so now I’ll try to find some bluesy funky old soul…whoops, wrong dial. “Houston, it looks like we may have a problem.”*
